Business throughout the week has been little
more active and as the holidays approach the re-
tail trade shows much more animation. There is
also better feeling in the market for produce,
and in grain there has been more speculative feel
ing. and an advance in prices has been the result
Money matters in about the same condition as
heretofore reported, and the hops is earnestly en-.
teitained that Congress will do something to re-
lieve the stringency in the country and calse an
outflow of capital. U. s. bonds are quiet. Virginia
securities irregular. Consol bonds are offered
more freely and sell at from 464i to 10 in larger
lots than has been seen fer some time. The
10 40s are Grmer, with sales at 80. The pastdue
coupons fundable at 90 per cert. are in fall de-
mand ard sell higher, owing to the advance in IS,
which sold up to 6S1a. The non. fundable cou-
pons were neglected, and are quoted az 261sa21ai
